          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 83531
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Opening URL fails if it's WebDav and write access is
                    restricted
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.6.2 release
         Component: framework
           Product: LibreOffice

After running `soffice http://some/webdav/path`, this was the apache access log
from our webdav server:

  "PROPFIND http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 207 1043 "-" "LibreOffice"
  "HEAD http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 200 299 "-" "LibreOffice"
  "GET http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 200 1504043 "-" "LibreOffice"
  "LOCK http://some/webdav/path HTTP/1.1" 401 709 "-" "LibreOffice"

I think that LibreOffice is detecting that the server supports WebDav. Issuing
a LOCK requires additional permissions, so LibreOffice prompts me for
username/password. Since I have no username on this server, I hit "Cancel", and
LibreOffice responds with: "General Internet error has occurred."

Issue happens both on the command line, via `soffice <webdav url>` and from the
GUI's open-file dialog.

To test this on a public svn repo, try opening
http://unladen-swallow.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/LICENSE. wget can fetch it
without issue, but LibreOffice shows the following error:

  Error reading data from the Internet.
  Server error message: 405 Method Not Allowed.

This first started happening to me after I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04 (which
came with LibreOffice 3.5) to Ubuntu 14.04 (which came with LibreOffice 4.2.6.3
420m0(Build:3)).
